matter who is in the White House, you will still have same old Congress. The economy is picking up as predicted and it is slow going as predicted. Our old Congress through the graces of millionaire donations which are the funneled into anti Obama ads while supporting pro Romney ads are showing what is really wrong. Our Congress does not want change because they would lose their sweet deals and perks provided through the auspices of wealthy donors. If we voters (no matter what party we support) would realize that through ads, misinformation and sometimes outright lies we never get all of the information required to be an informed voter. These campaigns are playing to our biases and ignorance of certain facts. The current stalemate in Congress is on hold until the old guard sees who is elected. If it is Mr. Romney then it will be business as usual, if it Is Mr. Obama then the same hedging as before. It is the right of the people to yell, scream and write to your representatives and get the changes needed. Splinter groups do it all of the time and get things done that do not necessarily reflect all of our opinions and views. The real way to change no matter who is in the White House is to weed out the old guard , put in some new people and demand changes that more reflect the original purpose of Congress.
